Butlins
He was training at Carrington on Friday, so he's probably in Manc.
The thing is, before the recent two games every single time we'd played with a three man midfield where all three players were deeper-lying ones (ie. everyone other than Giggs or Anderson) it has sucked badly. We've tried it numerous times, and it's resulted in some of our worst performances over the last few seasons. It's only when we've added Giggs or Anderson that things have clicked.
I'm really not sure what has changed to suddenly get two good games in a row. Is it Rooney growing into that role upfront? Is it Nani's emergence? Is it that Carrick and Fletcher have gotten used to playing a bit further forward? Or is it just luck that a few things have come together on the right day and that combination worked? I really don't know, but I'm certainly not sold on the combination yet.
Whatever happened to the next Ronaldinho?
The title of this article gives the impression that it may lead to more negativity and criticism of Anderson, but the conclusions are promising. It's a pretty good summary of his career so far. People shouldnt forget his age because he is still far from the finished article. He doesnt need to play like Ronaldinho but he should become a creative attacking force. I dont think he's going anywhere and I dont want him too, surely it will take more patience to see the best of him. He's in good hands after all.

The "Next Ronaldinho" came with that Porto flair, it dissapeared when he joined us, so it's unfair to still bring that up.
But I read this earlier and it's pretty much my thoughts exactly.

There is a lot of nonsense talked about Anderson really being an attacking midfielder and United may have played him wrongly. I strongly disagree with this.
United quickly sussed out his correct position, real talent and limitations.
I am 100% certain even if he moves on United found him his correct position.

He's playing for the Reserves tonight according to Ben Hibbs' Twitter (Though the game looks like being called off)
why will the game be called off?
The pitch was white when I called the ground an hour ago, they said a ref was on his way for a pitch inspection but it was almost certainly off. I'm calling back at about 1 to confirm.
feck.
He put in his best performances of the season after a game for the reserves and we're gonna need him over the next few weeks.
'Kin snow.

Keep an eye on the reserve forum, I'll be posting in there when I've called the ground again to find out for definite whether it's on or off.
AS that whole attacking thing at Porto is a myth imo. It cant disappear if was never actually there. He played further up the pitch and scored a few goals but in fairness some of the opposition in that league is terrible. To suggest even for one second that the lad ever was a flair player like Ronaldinho is just lazy journalism. They couldnt be more different if they tried.
yeah about time too!!!!!! how long do we have to wait for another ?
dont rate this guy at all ! come the end of the season get rid and if the money is there buy ?
you were probably shite at football too at 21
Why do you even bother responding to people that clearly have no clue? And to be fair he is probably still shite at football.. Irrespective of his age..
I hate seeing spastic viewpoints go unchallenged.
Hey, if i can convince people on the internet that they are total muppets for writing off a champions league winning 21 year old then i can probably engineer world peace.
Who promotes these people anyway?
Can i be a promoter? I promise i'd do a good job and make sure we have less spastics

Hey hey take it easy.. Lets not get ahead of ourselves here..
Hope he comes back soon a different player just like Nani!
These are basically the exact same spastic comments that were said about Nani while he was absent from the team.
Seconded. I think he's going through quite the same problems, Nani had.
Can't really imagine situation, where he's transfered to other club.
He got time to recharge and explode with talent just like Nani.
Let's wait maybe few weeks more and then we shall see what will happen.
Some people just don't learn.
He was apparently going to play in the reserve match against City on Thursday before it was called off, so I'd expect him to play against Burnley on Thursday night. Seems to be a form of punishment from SAF for his going awol recently.
R_Nick don't fall into that funnel of foolishness, nobody knoes what happened, don't assume !!!
Anderson insists he's happy to stay and fight for his place at Manchester United.
The Brazil midfielder has been in-and-out of the United first team for the past month.
He told manutdsoccerschools.com: "No footballer is happy when they are out of the team. If you’re not bothered being on the bench or in the stands you will never be successful, certainly not at a club like United. You have to be unhappy if you’re not in the team. But even when I am not included I always support my team-mates. I’d love to start every match, but when this doesn’t happen I support my colleagues because we’re a team and we stick together.
"I see it as a great challenge. It’s good to have competition around you because that’s the way to get the best out of players. If everyone is competing for places, the performance levels will always be higher."

Apologies Chris I only just saw this post!
You are right about making assumptions, but I have some concerns about Anderson's attitude and dedication, he is known for his regular partying and he needs to get himself straight as he has the potential in bucket loads.
I guess we will soon see SAF's thinking when we see the squad travelling to Villa on Wed night and if he doesn't feature in that and plays at Moss Lane on Thursday instead it's a fairly good indication that something has happened as there is no word of an injury as far as I'm aware.
Have I missed something? Aside from the arrival party with Nani and Ronaldo, I've not heard much about him being out and about in an untoward fashion?
My bosses daughter works in The Birdcage (a club in town) and he is known to be in there on a regular basis until the early hours. I've heard other rumblings but that I do know to be true.
Mate I didn’t mean to contaminate your space with my ill informed, unintelligent comments about wonderful Anderson !!!after all you were most probably United’s top goal scorer at 21! …? In your dreams ! Anyway I don’t see what he has done since he has been at United apart from a few spots of good play. Are you the same type of person that were saying “Give Ming the merciless Veron time he’s real class”
Or “that Massimo Taibi is world Class!!!!
and if you can remember? “That Gary Birtles will be a United Legend just give him Time !!! Well he was a United Legend !!! just not the sort of Legend he would like to be remembered as ..lol lol lol Anyway I don’t think Anderson (even with the help of HG Wells Time Machine) can show United fans much more than the average stuff hes been dishing out since signing in 2007 at a price of about 17 million !
Instead of 'feck feck feck', Ando needs to get himself a wife and settle down.
Fergie should arrange for it to happen.

In other news,this is for those who were getting ready to put his face on milk cartons.

Wtf?
Hopefully he can 'do a Nani' so to speak i.e have a few games out after a supposed bust up/disagreement or whatever did happen with the manager, take stock and come back fireing, if Nani can do it i see no reason why Anderson cant, just like Nani the tools are quite clearly there and simply speaking we will undoutedly need his services over the next 3 months.
For the next 3 years, Nedved needs his Davids and Conte.
